- In the Lewis structure for chloromethane, the chlorine atom is sharing _____ electron pair and “owns” _____ of those electrons. Also, the chlorine atom possesses two electrons from each of _____ unshared pairs. The total number of electrons that belong to chlorine is 7 . Chlorine is a Group ____ element. The formal charge on chlorine in chloromethane is ____.arrow_forwardWhich statements are true about electronegativity? (a) Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table. (b) Electronegativity increases from top to bottom in a column of the Periodic Table. (c) Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number, has the smallest electronegativity. (d) The higher the atomic number of an element, the greater its electronegativity.arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structure for nitrosyl fluoride, FNO. Using only a periodic table, identify (a) which is the longer bond. (b) which is the stronger bond. (c) which is the more polar bond.arrow_forward
- • define electronegativity and state how electronegativity varies with position in the periodic table.arrow_forwardDraw three resonance structures for N3-. This species has its three atoms bonded sequentially in the following fashion: N-N-N. Draw your resonance structures so that the atoms in them are bonded together in this order. Select the most important resonance structure for this species based on the formal charges on the atoms of the three resonance structures you have drawn. Now select the statement from the multiple choices which is true about this most important resonance structure.In the most important resonance structure of N3- : a) The leftmost bond (between N and N) is a single bond.b) The rightmost bond (between N and N) is a single bond.c) The formal charge on the leftmost (N) atom is -1.d) The number of nonbonding pairs (lone pairs) of electrons on the leftmost (N) atom is 4.e) The number of nonbonding (lone) pairs of electrons on the rightmost (N) atom is 4.arrow_forwardDraw a second resonance structure for the following ion.The image of the ion with the OH+ and double bond is the original ion to draw the resonance structure from. The other image was my incorrect answer.arrow_forward
- Arrange the following elements in order of decreasing electronegativity. Rank from most to least electronegative. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Lithium, Nickelarrow_forwardDecide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable. proposed Lewis structure Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable? Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: 0 Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. a=ö:] The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: 0 Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. :0: The correct number is: 0 HIC-H No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:" * If two or more atoms of the same element don't satisfy the octet rule, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms don't satisfy the octet rule, enter "O,0". X 5 ? : Z: I :Z:arrow_forwardDraw a Lewis structure that obeys the octet rule for each of the following ions. Obeying the octet rule may mean that the structure you draw is not the most stable or ideal for the given molecule. Assign formal charges to each atom. ClO3−arrow_forward
- Please don't provide handwriting solutionarrow_forwardGiven the Lewis Structure below, select the correct statement. This is not a valid structure because the central I atom can only have a maximum of two lone pairs. This is not a valid structure because the central I atom is violating the octet rule. There are 18 lone pairs of electrons. The total number of valence electrons is 22.arrow_forwardDraw the resonance structure indicated by the curved arrows. Assign formal charges. H H/:O: H H-C-C-C-Ċ—H H H H Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons.
